To thelRShZitor of the Press.-DKAR
SIR:-In your issue of Tuesday, Jan.
25, 1 find a letter from the "evange-
list" which calls for answer.
1t does not follow that we do not be-
lieve in all the hell revealed in the Old
and New Testaments because we do not
believe such hell endless. Its endless
ness is just the point at issue.
1st. AS to the Old Testament, educat-
ed, scholarly ministers of all sects place
little or no reliance on it in support of
endless retribution. l select, from
among many authorities, extracts from
Jahn's Biblical Archaeology, translated
from the German at suggestion and de-
sire of the late Professor Stuart, of the
Theological Seminary at Andover, for
the use of theological students:
1.-The belief Of the ancient Hebrews
was that the spirits of the dead were
received into sheol, which is represent
ed as large subterranean abode. Into
this abode, we are told, the wicked are
driven suddenly, their days being cut
short but the good descended into it
in tranquility and in the fullness of
their years. \ That the ancient
Hebrews believed that there was diff
ference in their situation in sheol be-
tween the good and the bad, although
it might indeed be inferred from their
ideas of the justice and benignity of God
cannot be proved by direct testimony.
\ \ We have not authority, therefore,
decidedly to say that any other motives
were held out to the ancient Hebrews
to pursue the good and avoid the evil
than those which were derived from
the rewards and punishments of this
life."
Clear, unmistakable revelation of
burning, endless hell for them, and all
the race, should have been made to
Adam and Eve in Eden as penalty for
eating the forbidden fruit, if true; Cain,
the first murderer, should have been
told Of it instead of having it covered
Up by earth penalties it should have
been proclaimed to the people of Sodom
and Gomorrah until the fiery birthstone
storm that drove them suddenly down
to sheol had seemed in comparison a
rain of icy hail i; beyond the drowning
Waterford should have glOwed the
endless fire flood in view of the antedi-
luvians. If true, Moses, who knew
what the Egyptians thought about it,
should not have hidden it in giving the
law, putting in its stead exclusively
this world retribution. Yet, in the
strong language of Arnauld, quoted by
Bishop Warburton in his Divine Lega-
ton of Moses: sit is the height of igno-
rance to doubt this truth, which is one
Of the most common of the Christian
and which is attested by all the
that the promises of the Old
Testament were temporal and earth
y, and that the Jews worship God
only for earthly blessings" After the
captivity in Babylon some of the later
notably Daniel, show that

In a recent address before the Con-
gregational board OF London, Archdeacon
Farrar expressed the opinion that, as it
is impossible to reach absolute truth.
and as different views of truth are sure to
enshrine themselves in distinct organiza-
tons, a reunion of Christians is quite inn
possible. Unity between Roman Gath
ole and Protestant is impossible because
the former holds firmly to the DEGREES of
the council Of Trent, in which are in
cluded many dogmas which are utterly
repugnant to the deepest convictions of
all Proteetants. There have been occa.
sions in the past when a union between
the Non.conformists and the Church of
England might have been possible, "but,"
said the Archdeacon, "what chance is
there now of our sacrificing Episcopacy
or, if we did not, that you would adopt ii? ?"
He quoted approvingly Jeremy Taylor's
suggestion as a basis for really Gath
ole Church-the Lords prayer, the ten
commandments, and the apostles creed,
and beyond these he declared that unity
of belief was only unity of torpor or of
death.

Gail Hamilton has a serious word to
say Of her sex that all should read: "Their
spiritual superiority is signifed chiefly in
this-that the women work for love, the
men for money" Thus she sums the
matter up: "The spiritual advance made
by man is seen chiefly in this, that SO
much OF the money he earns goes to the
ministry Of refinement, education, embel-
lshment, to the wife and children whom
he loves. But the woman sees no money
for her toll. Her sufficient, her ample
reward is in a husband, content, happi-
ness, growing in grace, in children,
bounding to gracious maturity. The
unmarried woman works for necessity
for love of her dependent ones, for love
of some beautiful or beneicent profess
sion, for sweet mercy and charity to the
ignorant, for horror of dependence upon
those on;whom she has no claim-seldom
for business, ambition, or material accu-
mutation. The woman who makes a real
failure, failure in her own business, is the
woman, the grasping, the selfish,
the repressive, the unsympsthizing, the
the untruthtul, the woman
who is centre of discomfort, source of
anxiety, an object of avoidance, instead
Of being that gentle, consoling, consider
ate, motherly magnet which draws unto
itself all human want, and woe, and makes
bliss and sunshine"

THE GRAVES-DEERE CORRESPOND
ENCE.

The Riverside Cal. Press of Jan. 25th,
contains reply from Rev. DR.. Graves
to Rev. G. H. Deere's article reprinted
in our last issue, in which article the
revivalist was given some substantial
information in regard to the doctrine
of Universalism. We now reprint DR..
Graves reply and the rejoinder Of Br.
Deere:
Editor Press:-I see in your issue of
Saturday an article from DIR. Deere with
restrictions on my views of truth and
dealings with Universalism. He says
Universalists believe in hell and hot
ter hell than preach about. He also
boasts that he was ordained to the min
istry of that faith nearly forty years
ago. If the aged DR.. has had so long a
time to learn, he certainly ought to
know that Universalists do not believe
in such ahell as the prophets and Jesus
Christ taught in both the Old and New
Testaments. That is, an endless hell.
Take for instance Dan. xii, and Matt.
XIV, 46, "These shall go away into ever
lasting punishment and the right
eous into life eternal" Will the DR..
tell us that this ''life eternal" for the
righteous is not intended to mean heav-
en-, and endless? He will not and dare
not. But every fair minded person in
this community will acknowledge at
once that what Jesus teaches here as a
portion of heavenly blessedness for the
righteous as endless he likewise teaches
that the portion marked out for the
wicked is endless. Also inLuke xiii, %,
"a, where one asked Jesus, fare there
few that be saved ?'' The reply of the
divine teacher was that many would
fail to enter into the Kingdom of God.
If Universalism could possibly be true,
why did not Jesus use this golden OPP
portunity and tell the world that all
would be saved in heaven Now just
one other thought. I find in a nation
al religious year book that there are
members in the Universalist church in
America, 33 ,223; Methodist, 8 1855 1892 =;
Congregationalist, 653, 1856; Baptist, q
,23s; Episcopal, 397, 1872 ; Presbyte-
rian, 783, 543.
Now with this mighty record of evan
gelical Christians who believe in an
endless hell, just as Jesus taught it, in
comparison to the little number of Uni
versalists who do not, affirm there is
marked evidence of Gods favor and
disfavor. If the Universalists were
really in harmony with Gods truth,
and we wrong, the divine head would
certainly give them more favor and
growth and us less. 1t is no use for
the aged DR.. to tell US, as he did me in
Mr.. Filkin's Office, that two-thirds of
evangelical Christians are Universalists
in sentiment. That is false. No, no,
we are not band of hypocrites. We
believe in what we profess of the truth
as it is in Jesus. A. p. GRAVES.

Writing of Mr. Whistler's ancestry,
Chicago Tribune correspondent relates
that in 1888 Major Whistler was COM
mandant of Fort Dearborn. Hehad been
British officer, and think, was an
Irishman, but when made prisoner by the
Revolutionary forces Tor in the war of
1912, his loyalty sat so easy on him that
he took service with his captors. His son
went to Russia TO direct the extensive
railroad constructions of the Gear. The
English painter is, understand, the son
of that son, born in st. Petersburg, and,
if he has not formally renowned his
allegiance, is not English but American.
The wife of Gen. Sheridan, adds the cor
respondent, must be cousin of Mr..
Whistler.

slave you heard this story before?"
writes a correspondent of The Critic.
when Stanley was proposing to lecture
before he was SO suddenly called back
the president Of a New England college
wrote to his manager, inviting Mr.. Stan
to address the students at certain time,
and adding words like these: IL Mr..
Stanley will be my guest, 1 shall be
most happy to receive him at my house,
etc. For answer came the message: 'Mr
Stanley is not wild man, but perhaps it
will be better to secure for him rooms at
the hotel This not little astonished the
president and things were at cross pur-
poses till the note was referred to, and it
was found that it had been read: If Mr..
Stanley will be very quiet, 1 shall be
most happy etc. And the moral of this
is, that for the sake of their friends land
for the papers), men should
take the trouble to write plain English
script and not hieroglyphics.

Art knowledge, says a recent writer
in the Queen, is of two classes, II pro-
fessional, the other amateur. But the
greater includes the lesser, and where
choice is open one is hardly disposed to
approve Of that form Of study which is
merely superficial. There is now no
hlndrance to woman becoming as much
a master of the art as the most learned,
But the requirement Of all KNOWLEDGE
is matter of training and instruction.
Raphael and Michael Angelo were as
much masters of the elementary prac-
tice Of drawing as they were conversant
with the most recondite principles of
composition and design. Their grand
est creations in art revealed the perfec-
ton Of what may be termed schoolboy
knowledge i'll their work, equally with
the mastery of the mysteries of a our
suit the difficulties Of which are scarcely
measurable. So the greatest masters
thought it not beneath them to study
the simplest elements of the pursuit to
which they devoted their lives. Their
p~rinciple-an e%minently sound one
was that of all things their knowledge
should be thorough. Can we do better
than follow such an example? When
men, by following q certain course.
have attaineda power at least approach
ing perfection, it seems idle to assert
that their method was not worthy all
imitation. We have, unfortunately, no
Raphaels or Michael Angeles in art
now, but we can at least follow in their
footsteps. Examining their work we
find evidence of an intimate acquaint-
ance with the principles Of drawing and
coloring, of composition, perspective,
and OF effect as secured by light and
shade. To this, may be added the nee.
essary, if superficial knowledge, of anat-
omy. and thorough acquaintance with

NOT VIE FIGHT WdY.

A big fellow named Dave Ladd circu-
lated reports to the effect that John
Phillips was at II time in prison for
stealing hogs. Dawes friends advised
him not to talk about Phillips in such a
manner; that Phillips was a quiet man,
never having been known to engage in
a fight, but Dave swore that no mans
cowardice should protect him against
the truth, and that it was his duty to
place Phillips in the proper light before
the community. While the friends
were importuning the lover of truth to
be more merciful, Phillips came up,
knocked Dave down, danced on his
breast and ground out some Of his teeth
with his heel. After the affair was
over, and while Dave was trying to
work himself back into his normal shane
